DEODOBIZING AND DISINFECTING APPARA'II' To all'whom it may concern: Be it. known that I, JOHN Bauer Mao KAY, a citizen of the United States of Amer ice, and a residentof 'aterloo, Blackhawk countv, Iowa, have invented certain new and Deodorizing and Disinfecting Apparatus, of which the following is a s ecification.

' mausoleum, but can 'of one of the perforate My invention relates to improvements in deodorizing and disinfecting apparatus, and the object of my improvement is to furnish an apparatus in which said processes are combined in the same structure, and in which the method of circulating the matter to be acted u )on conduces to a more perfect result. This 0 ject I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated .in the accompanying drawin in which:

Figure 1 is a vertica central sectioh of my improved deodorizing and disinfecting apparatus. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same 'with the top COVQT'. removed. Fig. 3 is a perspective elevation of said apparatus with the top cover. removed, and other parts broken away to better disclose the interiorconst-ruction. Fig. 4 is an enlar d front elevation division plates of the helical intermediate chamber, and Fig. 5 is avertical section of the same, taken on the line c-cl of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is. a vertical transverse section of the (port walls which deliver into the separate gas and liquid seepage conduits, taken on t e.lii1e (1-?) of of reference designate Fig. 1.

imilar numerals throughoutthe several corresponding parts views.

My improved apparatus is primarily designed -to actupon the liquid seepage and gaseous ellinvia of a body ina crypt of a. be used in the same way seepage to both deon any offensive gases or ore.,thelr 'diso'dorize and disinfect them, charge therefrom.

The device com in the form of a lOllOW cylindrical drum 1 with closed upper and lower ends. The interior of this receptacle or drum is divided bv means of cylindrical concentric vertical three concentric chamhers, which respectively rvc as dcpo=itorics 9 \valls & and 5- into for various disinfectants. and which will be more conveniently designated licrcinzrftcr as the outermost,-intermediate and inncrmo-t Covered Specification of Letters Patent. latentod Dec. I 9. 1 911 Application filed August 28, 1911. Serial I'to. 646.333.

manhole ports 14, I3 and ltiin llicir'tops serve for securing access to the inu-riors' of the clnunlwrs l. 4 and 5 rcspcctiu-ly. 'for filling or cleansing same- The outermost chamber 1 has two vertical separated partitions l2 and 13. of which 12 is impcrforate. while the partition [3 has a The chamber 1 has an outlet pipe [0 in its upper end. This chamber 1 is filled with a porous mass of commiuglcd asbestos or mineral wool or similar substance saturated with a solution of formaldehyde or any other suitable disinfecting and deodorizing chemical equivalent.

The innermost chamber 5 has a quantity of chlorid of lime or similar substance do posited thercinj 'l'hcmuucral 11 llt5lgl1utt8 the common receptacle adapted to rrcche both the gaseous emanations and the liquid seepage from the crypt of a mausoleum, or from any other source. and the numerals i and 9 respectively designate the conduits which take the liquid and the gascousronstituents from the receptacle 11- and convey them separately throu i the concentric walls of the apparatus to e delivered into the innermost chamber 5 thereof, the conduit?! delivering the gas into the top of said chamher, while the conduit 7 is directed obliquely downward to deliver at or below the middle of said chamber into the mass of chlorid of lime therein.

bottom thereof. intoa helical conipa'rtnwnt. rises a general receptacle the helix itself being radially crimpcd for a urpose to he hereinafter disclosed. -Said he ical compartment is further divided into 1 a plurality of communicating parts by means oi the vertical division plates lflwluch councct the walls -l and 5 at the ships and tho convolutions of the helix above and below. each providml in their 'l'hcsc plates 17 are upper parts only with orilircs lb'. '1. be intermediate chamber l is 1 viillcd to a limitjust below the .port .2 with relatively large opening 3 at the "lower cud.v

a plurality of; small a solution of chlorin. This solution will rise to the same level-*in the the pressure of gas entering the innermost chamber forced it "out! of said tubet' "The gas will then move through the convoluted chamber4 between thes irals of the crimped helix 6, and finally will be passed through the port 2 into the outermost chamber, and.

back while being acted upon by the disin-.

fecting solution, and to a certain extent break them'u into smaller bubbles which are more quic "ly acted upon by the disinfectant. The helix 6 may be arranged with as many convolutions as may be thought necessary to lengthen properlythe passage of the gas anddelay it within the disin-l fectant, while it is obvious that the helix may be roughened in any. fother manner forv the purpose outlined above, without depart- -ing:from the $00 e of my invention. The

division plates 1 further hold back the a gas, and as is made clear' in Fig. '5, by means of their small orifices 18, break up the larger masses of gas into smaller bubbles. The gas ressure in the apparatus is reduced 'conslderably, which: is an important feature,

due to the above construction. p
